Frequently Asked Questions - SPL 125 FELLOWES

How do I turn on the Fellowes SPL 125 laminator?
Plug in the laminator and slide the power switch to the ON position. The green ready light will illuminate after approximately 3 minutes.
What size pouches does the SPL 125 accept?
The SPL 125 laminates documents up to A4 size (8.3 inches by 11.7 inches). It accepts standard thermal laminating pouches up to 125 microns thick (per side).
Can I laminate a photo with the Fellowes SPL 125?
Yes, you can laminate photos. Use a photo-safe pouch if available. Avoid pouches with a glossy finish that may cause sticking.
Why is my laminator not heating up?
Ensure the power cord is firmly connected and the outlet is working. If the unit does not heat, the thermal fuse may be blown; contact Fellowes support for repair.
How do I clean the rollers on my Fellowes SPL 125?
Use a cleaning sheet designed for laminators. Insert it as you would a pouch and run it through. Alternatively, wipe the rollers with a damp, lint-free cloth after unplugging.
The laminate came out wrinkled. What went wrong?
Wrinkles often result from using a pouch thicker than 125 microns, or inserting documents at an angle. Ensure the pouch is aligned and the document is centered.
Can I use the laminator continuously?
Yes, but allow the unit to cool down after 30 minutes of continuous use to prevent overheating. The auto shut-off will activate after 30 minutes of inactivity.
What does the red light mean on the Fellowes SPL 125?
A red light indicates the laminator is heating up or has reached temperature but the ready light is not yet on. Wait for the green light before laminating.
Can I laminate a document already in a sleeve?
No, only use unsealed laminating pouches. Insert the document into the open pouch and run it through the laminator.
Where can I find replacement pouches for the SPL 125?
Replacement pouches are available at office supply stores or online. Look for A4 thermal laminating pouches with a maximum thickness of 125 microns.

Product Profile

The SPL 95, and the SPL 125 are heavy-duty laminators designed for daily office or commercial use. In addition to processing standard pouches of every thickness, SPL laminators take standard mounting boards for durable point-of-sale displays. To give professional users the precision they need, all SPL

FELLOWES SPL 125 - Product Profile - 1

models also offer degree-by-degree temperature adjustment and nine speed options on easy-to-read digital displays.

Here is an overview of SPL laminator capacity, capabilities and special features:

Because SPL laminators are designed to take mounting board, the entry is wide enough to accommodate pouches containing paper much thicker than the 300 gram (80 lbs) maximum recommended above. While filling the pouch to the limits of the entry will not damage your machine, you may not be satisfied with the quality of the results.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

As with any electrical equipment:

  • Keep it away from heat or water sources
  • Plug it in near an easily accessible outlet
  • Do not use it if damaged in any way
  • Do not attempt to open or otherwise repair it
  • Turn it off after each use, and
  • Unplug it when not in use for an extended period.

Set-up

Using the illustration on the inside of the manual cover as a reference, attach the support tray ① to the back of the machine with the two screws included in the package

Operation

To begin laminating, plug in the machine and press the power button ②. On the control panel ③, then press start which will cause the orange standby light to go on.

Hot Lamination

Using the guidelines ④ printed on the top of the machine:

  • Set temperature by pressing switch will cause the temperature light to go on. The digital temperature display Ⓐ will show 110°C if this is the first use, but otherwise will show the last temperature used. Press plus + or minus - until you see the temperature you want. Note: Because even standard paper may vary in weight and some inks are heat sensitive, you may have to use a somewhat higher or lower temperature - roughly 5° more or less - to get optimum results.
  • Set speed by pressing a second time, which will cause the speed light to go on. The digital speed display Ⓗ will show "4" if this is the first use, but otherwise will show the last speed used. Press plus br minus until you see the speed you want.

Then press forward▲to start the rollers turning. Although the laminator will warm up without the rollers in motion, this ensures that the heat will be evenly distributed. As soon as the selected temperature has been reached, the green ready light ⑥ will go on. Allowing for a free margin of at least 3 mm (1/8 inch), on the unsealed edges, insert the sealed edge of the pouch or mounting board into the entry ⑤, as shown at the right.

If you see the material is not going in straight and might get damaged, use the reverse mode Press stop ■, then press and hold reverse ▼ until you have backed the material out of the entry completely. Realign and press forward ▲ to begin again.

Remove your material from the support tray after it has cleared the exit ⑥. If you are finished with the job, but plan to use the laminator again soon, press start ① put it into the standby mode. If you forget, it will switch itself into this mode after one hour of inactivity. Press start ⑪ again to resume work, or press the power button ② to turn off the machine.

Cold Lamination

Using the same temperature and speed selection procedure as with hot lamination, lower the temperature until the digital display is blank. The cold mode light * will go on at this point to confirm the change in mode. Then select a speed of 5 or 6, depending on the contents and pouch thickness.

Press forward▲ to start the rollers turning. (If the laminator is hot, you can accelerate the cooling process by passing through the cleaning sheet included in the package and/or turning up the roller speed to 7, 8 or 9.) When the green ready light © goes on, turn the speed back to 5 or 6 if necessary, then:

  • Lay contents face upon the transparent, non-adhesive side of a specially designed cold lamination pouch, but do not close the pouch
  • Insert full length of sealed pouch edge into the entry, as shown, while bending the protective sheet backwards over the machine and grasping its free edge
  • Continue holding the protective sheet, which will peel away as the pouch is drawn through the machine.
    If you see the pouch is not going in straight and might get damaged, use the reverse mode, as described under Hot Lamination.

Maintenance

To keep your laminator free of adhesives that could hurt the quality of your work, clean the rollers regularly:

  • Select temperature 140^ if it is not already on this setting
  • Wait for the readiness light and signal, if necessary
  • Insert the cleaning sheet included in the package, repeating one or two times
  • Insert a plain white sheet of paper to test for remaining traces, and
  • Reinsert the cleaning sheet, if necessary, and retest.

To clean the exterior of your machine, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with plain water.

Troubleshooting

If you are not getting the quality you should be, you can probably solve the problem quickly. If, for example, your end product is:

  • Cloudy - Reduce the speed and pass it through again. If the sheet is still not completely transparent, increase the temperature in increments of 5^ .
  • Wavy - For the next pouch, increase the speed and/or reduce the temperature in increments of 5^ . Passing through the cleaning sheet or turning up the speed will help cool down the rollers. The green ready light © will reappear as soon as the lower temperature has been reached.
  • Spotted - Follow the cleaning procedure described under Maintenance to remove traces of adhesive.
  • Open on edges- Next time make sure the contents are at least 3 mm (1/8 inch), from the unsealed edges of the pouch.

If the pouch or mounting board is not going in straightor gets stuck in the rollers use the reverse mode, as described under Hot Lamination.
